The broadcast that day ranked first in its time slot among cable and general programming channels nationwide, according to Nielsen Korea.
First, Choi Daniel, Jang Keun-suk, and Ahn Jae-hyun enjoyed the thrilling atmosphere of a group meetup at ‘Doyeting’, doing pottery and a romance Q&A with the female participants. During the subsequent one-on-one conversation time, Jang Keun-suk requested a talk with the female participant whom Choi Daniel had taken a liking to, drawing interest and prompting curiosity about their final choices.

In addition, the three were swept up in the lingering afterglow of emotions they had not felt in a long time through ‘Doyeting’, and although each was chosen by one female participant, their own choices did not align, leading to an ending where all matches failed and evoking regret.
While the male friends went off to do ‘Doyeting’, candid ‘girl talk’ unfolded at the Gugidong House, drawing focus. Watching a dating program together, Jang Do-yeon, Lee Da-hee, and Kyung Su-jin naturally chatted about marriage and relationships. In particular, Lee Da-hee spoke about maturing through a breakup with a partner she had dated for three years, and Kyung Su-jin about maturing through a breakup with a partner she had dated for seven years, pulling listeners in and making clear how deep the trio had grown, to the point of opening up about their dating histories.
In the evening, the dolled-up ‘Dongsachin’ headed to a high-end restaurant and showed off their visuals. Among them, Kyung Su-jin underwent a major transformation in a red dress, prompting exclamations from the ‘Dongsachin’. To fulfill the ‘Beotkit List’ dream of Choi Daniel, dancing the blues, Kyung Su-jin agreed to be his dance partner, and the two presented a distinctive scene as they danced to piano accompaniment. As a result, thanks to the ‘Dongsachin’, Choi Daniel achieved on his fortieth birthday the ‘Beotkit List’ goals of a group meetup and dancing the blues.
Moreover, Jang Keun-suk drew attention by revealing for the first time a ‘Beotkit List’ item: wanting to receive a wedding planner consultation to learn about a realistic wedding. Having often talked about marriage with the ‘Dongsachin’, he said, “I want to build my team, and creating my family and keeping it healthy might be my final bucket list,” and revealed that if he meets a trustworthy partner who can form a team with him, he is ready to marry at any time. Upon Jang Keun-suk using the expression ‘my team’, the ‘Dongsachin’ began to view marriage from a different perspective.
The following day, they headed to a photo studio to shoot a classic family portrait, an item on the ‘Beotkit List’ of Ahn Jae-hyun. With backdrops imbued with the sentiment of the past and matching jeans and white T-shirts, the ‘Dongsachin’ struck playful, lively poses and created a warm, family-like atmosphere.
Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, a guest shrouded in mystery arrived at the Gugidong House, piquing curiosity. The identity of the guest can be confirmed on tvN ‘Gugidong Friends’, airing at 8:35 p.m. on the 22nd (Fri).
